图像与记忆:村上春树《刺杀骑士团长》中的南京大屠杀

Images and Memories:Nanjing Massacre in Haruki Murakami's“Killing Commendatore”

日本历史学界关于南京大屠杀一度“争论”不休,日本社会层面并未形成统一的正确认知。村上春树在小说《刺杀骑士团长》中揭露了南京大屠杀的历史,其中出现的图像作为记忆媒介,唤醒了存储于其中的暴力记忆,同时也作为回忆的特殊形态实现了对南京大屠杀记忆的想象、修复与重构。作者希望被尘封的记忆得以重载与传承,呼唤日本民众正视、思考曾经犯下的南京大屠杀暴行,这对于当代日本重塑历史记忆的主体话语权具有积极意义。

The Japanese historians had once debated over the issue of Nanjing Massacre intensively and the Japanese society didn't reach consensus on this issue.Haruki Murakami exposed the history of Nanjing Massacre in Killing Commendatore,within which the images as the memory medium awakened the memories of violence,and also obtained the imagination,repair and reconstruction of memories on Nanjing Massacre as special forms of memory.The author hopes that the dust-laden memories of Nanjing Massacre could be reloaded and inherited,calling on the Japanese people to face up to and reflect on the atrocities committed during the Massacre,which has a positive meaning to the principal discourse power of reshaping the historical memory of Nanjing Massacre in contemporary Japan.
